KKR vs PBKS

IPL KKR vs PBKS Live: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 is leaving no stone unturned and is giving fans everything to cheer about. With the playoffs stage nearing, only one team so far has qualified and it’s none other than MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings. There’s still no clarification about the rest of the three teams and the 45th encounter of the cash-rich league between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at Dubai International Cricket Stadium will add more flavour to the points table, which is getting interesting day by day. Both two teams would be eager to grab 2 points and make their position for the playoffs strong. While the Eoin Morgan-led side has a fair chance of qualifying for the playoffs, the KL Rahul-led side despite suffering a loss against Mumbai Indians are still in the contention but have very little chance to qualify and a loss today would mean they are most likely to get eliminated from this year’s tournament. So far in the points table, Kolkata Knight Riders are placed second and Punjab Kings are sixth on the table.
